NTOAB Jeez is back. This time presenting a song from the new born opus of Ended (CIRCADIAN - out on the 4th of June, yes, 2021, by Demord Enregistrements). Ended is a venture by Alban Mercier (as well behind the blurry sunsetish cover) and Léo Campbell (coucou Léo !). For the picked song, the two gentle thugs decided to team up with Delphine Marais, aka Rose Mary and Kyle Knapp for the saxo. 
After a long and intense talk with two of the protagonists, full of chewy stories (“hum … yes … ahahah … SKIP), “Daylight” it is in the sunny sky of Flanders. Classic “panties-on” song in becoming, Rose Mary is spelling with her voluptuous voice an ode to the time. The boys take care of the drive, one way in and without stop and go, through a charming bassline full of copper wastes.

TFGC020 - Folie 2

One Day the dreary, new normality became an endless loop of unsteady moods and contradicting sounds. Marlene Kollender, Gregor Darman and Sebastian Welicki from Düsseldorf became Folie 2.
Now it all makes sense!

Marking TFGC’s 20th Release, Folie 2 present a fascinating cosmos of sound and feeling. No shortcuts, this is a journey!

TFGC020 - A3 Folie 2 - Alone

Tying the knots with Kipus 02 - "Saturno y La Luna" - by Quito-based Ene Ese.

La Luna (The Moon), symbolizes the essence of femininity, reigns over the realms of water, emotions, subtlety, and fertility. In contrast, Saturn, guides us towards the realms of masculinity, framing itself as discipline, the refinement of skill, physique, and the establishment of internal ideologies and behaviors.

The EP's sonic landscape is characterized by the extensive use of Afro-Ecuadorian rhythms, accompanied by hypnotic voices and the deep presence of a sub-bass. An irresistible call to dance, which defines the distinctive sound of Post-Colonial Bass- a proud entry in the tapestry that connects Southamerica in the information network of KIPUS.

_______VAI A CASA, SEI UBRIACO!
Bamboo Shows introduces today the first opus of its 'vai a casa, sei ubriaco!' cassette series focusing on sunitty, an Italian reinterpretation of Fourth World Music through the prism of the world wide web.

_______ BABAU - ALL THE GURLS WERE AT THE WOMEN'S ARCHO ASHINTO
“All The Gurls Were At The Women’s Archo Ashinto” is the new work by post-exoticist duo Babau, a project of Matteo Pennesi and Luigi Monteanni, both founders of Artetetra, a label and platform pursuing practice-based sound research on digital folklore and internet world music, which they term Quinto Mondo; a spin on Jon Hassel’s Fourth World. After releasing their own output on labels such as Discrepant, Communion and Artetetra and being selected as SHAPE+ alumni 2022/23, Babau is back on Bamboo Shows with a wild ride into the soundscapes of bootleg sound ethnography and floating world digi-exotica collages.

As part of the “Vai a casa, sei ubriaco!” series, Babau redraws the lines of stoner-impressionism and gonzo traveling through the rework of a radio show they produced for Psychic Radio. Born as a patchwork of imaginative sketches meshing YouTube audio manipulation with Babau’s signature live computer techniques, spirit box-like vocal excerpts and irregularly pulsing beats, “ATGWATWAA” explores the brain fog of transglobal exoticism offering a continuous, fake field recording where organologies and aural timbres conjure a floating world of sound flows and yet-to-come folk genres from yonder. If you’re here for a first-class ticket to mind trickery and surreally tender ‘cinema pour l’oreille’, no one does it better.

In particular, the title of the album comes from a shirt photographed by Babau in the streets which belongs to the phenomenon of SHANZAI clothing. Shanzhai (Chinese: 山寨; pinyin: shānzhài; Cantonese Jyutping: saan zaai) is a Chinese term literally meaning ‘mountain fortress’, the places where smugglers, rogues and thieves were imagined to reside, whose contemporary usage encompasses counterfeit, imitation, or parody products and events, as well as the subculture surrounding them. The term’s modern usage increased about 2008, when shanzhai smartphones achieved their peak domestic popularity.
Today, people associate the phrase with grassroots invention and ingenuity, rather than with deception or imitation. Similarly, Babau’s sonic vignettes talk of naive inconsistent societies and bootleg archipelagos, knock-off folk music and smuggled fragments of musics quilted into a feverish pseudo-regional repertoire. With “ATGWATWAA”, Babau coagulates its sonic weapons and tricks into a new narration leading the listeners to emerging landscapes and disappearing worlds made of magic pressurized air.

Listen to 'Echo of One' by False Self taken from VA 'Source Folder 02 : Bademjan' out on 22nd January via Club Late Music x Global URL Nation

Bandcamp: https://clublatemusic.bandcamp.com/album/source-folder-02-bademjan

"Inspired by the iconic tradition of the sample pack, the Source Folder series seeks to explore the diversity of interpretations, paths and offsprings that might emerge from a common resource. In each installment, a member of the Global URL Nation provides a sample pack from which other artists are invited to create a new track.

((o))
For this second edition, we welcome long-time collaborator Bademjan - a French artist blending heavily processed instruments with arcane atmospheres and raw emotions to unveil the sublime in their delicate intricacies.

For the project, he drew inspiration from early video game music, challenging 14 artists to collaboratively imagine the soundtrack of an ethereal, otherworldly video game. At the heart of the project is a collection of 25 custom-designed instruments – a unified palette of ambient washes, celestial leads, and weathered textures – that served as the exclusive sound source for the tracks, reminiscent of the creative limitations of the 16-bit era.

((o))
The result is a compilation of 14 tracks by Aeria, B E N N, commun des mortels, False Self, Guenter Råler, Indigoblue, jjjacob, Léo Dubois, Levier, Lukann, Peow Beow, Sçlé, Sioban and Sopoorific.

Each track feels like a gateway to its own unique realm, a portal to its own liminal space, where wistful melodies and haunting textures intertwine. While some tracks evoke a tender nostalgia, wrapping the listener in bitcrushed warmth, others explore darker, more mysterious tones – all coming together beautifully as an immersive journey through uncharted dreamscapes."

Premier album de f pneumonia, Machicoulis nous amène nous promener sur les terres fertiles des musiques numérico naturalistes aux forts accents  dub. Un premier album à l’humour certain qui nous donne envie de continuer la marche.

face A: 
Une barde influenceuse se rend à Strasbourg en sillonnant les chemins de randonnées Vosgiens. C'est l'an 1518 et en contrebas les habitants de la ville se déchaînent dans une manie dansante dont nul ne connaît l'origine. 

face B : 
Après des pertes humaines considérables, le quotidien est à l'arrêt, les va-et-vient commerciaux ont été délaissés à la faveur de scènes de liesse pour qui a réussi à braver l'enchantement marathonien de cette danse diabolique. À peine sortis nous ne pouvons nous empêcher de nous demander si cette grande gigue n'était pas une nécessité ?

Eng/

Machicoulis, the debut album from f pneumonia, takes us on a stroll through the fertile lands of digital-naturalistic music with a strong dub flavour. A first album with a definite sense of humour that makes you want to keep walking.

side A: 
An influential bard travels to Strasbourg along the hiking trails of the Vosges. It's the year 1518 and down below the city's inhabitants are going wild in a dancing mania, the origin of which no one knows. 

side B : 
After considerable loss of life, daily life came to a standstill, commercial comings and goings were abandoned in favour of scenes of jubilation for those who had managed to brave the marathon enchantment of this diabolical dance. As soon as we stepped out, we couldn't help but wonder if this great jig wasn't a necessity?

Mindwaves-Music proudly presents the highly-anticipated album, FM VOLTA, from Berlin-based Danish artist, SOFUS FORSBERG.

Full album ||
http://mindwaves-music.bandcamp.com/album/fm-volta

Nine is the magic number, making this a very special release since the 2005-launch of the artist's previous album, Udefra. So following a busy period of collaborations, projects and performances - Sofus brings us FM Volta: featuring a fusion of man-machine energies, identifying in particular with the modular synthesizer.

From the bizarre and eccentric to the dark and spacey: non-standard techniques in music production have culminated in some incredibly experimental sounds. This latest album is a sonic animation in the truest sense of the word – a painting of sound vibrations inspired by band members: the modular synthesizer, drum/FX machines and mixer.
 
The artist demonstrates a fascination with the 'patterns of sound' illustrated by nature:  “If we look at geometry and the pre-designed elements of nature – everything is already there, so I feel I am channeling that information. So by studying things like the Fibonacci sequence of numbers and fractals – I am simply presenting ideas of how I see the world and the universe. It's all connected – just like music, maths and science.”

From John Coltrane and Hendrix to Autechre: inspiration for music is discovered throughout the ages. The FM Volta album is a revelation though as it follows a nine-year spell of experimenting, studying, exploring, performing and collaborating. It's been a long-time coming - yet Sofus Forsberg has reached one of the most defining pinacles of his musical career with this exceptional new release, in which he unveils a fascinating approach to music production.

The artist will continue to share, collaborate and release new material well into 2014. It's going to be an interesting year ahead. In the meantime, we are happy to share with you this new production from the artist – so feel inspired and watch this space for more from Sofus Forsberg this year.

One More Time

Sofus Forsberg - One More Time

Use Knife is the exciting result of the raw synergy between Iraqi vocalist and percussionist Saif Al-Qaissy—who fled war-torn Iraq—and Belgian musicians Kwinten Mordijck and Stef Heeren, known for their passion for analog synths and organic wind instrumentation. 

The band tell a necessary tale of freedom, responsibility and the gulf between the Eastern and Western mindset. Even the instrumentation itself reflects this constant friction; intuitively muddling distorted industrial textures and jerky EBM pulses with brittle Iraqi rhythms and tonalities, Use Knife devise their own distinct harmony against the dissonant global backdrop. 

Debut album 'The Shedding of Skin' (2022) received critical acclaim by The Quietus, Mixmag and Knack Focus, a.o.. They played at festivals such as Le Guess Who?, Sonic City, Videodroom, Grauzone, Botanique, Worm, Wrong Fest, Roadburn, Suoni Per Il Populo, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and We Are Open a.o.

Additionally, ‘Peace Carnival’ was released on Morphine Records —a 10” remix EP featuring tracks from the debut album reinterpreted by Muqata’a مقاطعة, Zoë Mc Pherson, and Rabih Beaini.

Their new album ‘État Coupable’ (March 2025) is mixed by Jerusalem in My Heart's Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, who also created the contrasting ambient 2nd part of the title track, while New York based engineer Heba Kadry (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nicolás Jaar) handles the mastering. Nihiloxica’s drummer Spooky-J, also laid down a post punk beat on first single ‘Freedom, Asshole’.

Youniss Ahamad crafted Use Knife’s distinct visual language, evoking rawness through direct and distorted imagery, and developed scenography and visuals that truly enhance their live show, creating “an all-embracing vortex that allows those experiencing it to plunge, headfirst, into a hypnotic state that veers between a dreamlike trance and a sensual workout.” (The Quietus)

Their radio show ‘Feeding The Gentry’ airs monthly on Palestinian Radio Alhara.
